matklad, of rust-analyzer fame among many other things, wrote up their thoughts on Zig: https://matklad.github.io/2023/03/26/zig-and-rust.html https://matklad.github.io/2023/03/26/zig-and-rust.html I've seen some put it as "zig is good when `unsafe` heavy code". Personally, even when writing life-or-death software, allocation errors were too much of a pain to deal with and much prefer Rust's approach for 99% of software. The question is if another language like zig provides enough value to justify existing for that 1% of use cases (all numbers made up :) ).
